It has been revealed that Esen Matraş, who married İsmail Yüksek, the national football player of Fenerbahçe and the Turkish National Team, is the daughter of well-known 1990s pop music artist and Matraş Deri family heir Emre Matraş. However, the striking event marking the couple's happy day was the bride Esen Matraş's radical decision regarding her biological father. Esen Matraş, who has been estranged and not in contact with Emre Matraş for years, did not mention his name during the wedding ceremony and answered the question 'What is your father's name?' by giving her stepfather's name.
A striking detail has emerged from the wedding of Fenerbahçe and Turkish National Team's successful footballer İsmail Yüksek, who tied the knot with Esen Matraş. It has been revealed that Esen Matraş, who married İsmail Yüksek, is the daughter of Emre Matraş, a former pop singer known for his songs in the 1990s and one of the heirs of the Matraş Leather family.
SHE DIDN'T EVEN MENTION HER BIOLOGICAL FATHER'S NAME AT THE WEDDING
The striking choice during the wedding ceremony highlighted the deep rift between father and daughter. Esen Matraş, who has not spoken to her biological father for years, maintained this stance at the wedding. When the registrar asked, "What is your father's name?", Esen Matraş did not even mention her biological father Emre Matraş's name, instead giving the name of her stepfather Anıl Karaer, who raised her.
HER FATHER WAS A WELL-KNOWN SINGER OF THE 90S
Born in 1975, Emre Matraş was known as one of the heirs of the Matraş Leather family, one of Turkey's established leather brands, and stepped into the music world in the 1990s. Matraş made his debut with the album "Yaz Aşkları" released in 1994, reaching a wide audience especially with his song "Çal Çal Oyna", and stepped back from his music career after the 1996 work "Feryadım Göklere".
HE HAS 3 DAUGHTERS FROM TWO MARRIAGES
Emre Matraş had his first marriage with Hale Keleş, and from this marriage, he had two daughters named Esen and Esin. After separating from his first wife, he married singer and presenter Yeşim Erçetin in 2010, and this marriage ended in 2015. Matraş also has a daughter named Masal from Yeşim Erçetin.
